Those few of you who have sent us mail recently know that our mailing address is General Delivery, Aguanga, CA. I have never had a General Delivery address before, but it makes me feel like I am living in Mayberry. General Delivery may not be the same as Rural Free Delivery (RFD), which is the kind of mail service Mayberry had, but I can’t tell you the difference.
I thought you might want to know what a General Delivery post office looks like, so here it is:
To get my two or three pieces of mail each week, I walk into this building (most of which is PO boxes and storage) and ask the postal clerk if any mail is waiting for me. Very quaint. I had to provide ID the first time, but after that she remembered me.
Next to the post office is the Aguanga General Store, which I have mentioned before. These two buildings comprise the “town” that is Aguanga.
